Yohji Yamamoto: Yuzen

The kimono - they need several steps to dye once and again, again, again. Then go to the embroidery phase and maybe come back again to finish then send it back again. This is the kimono process for clothing. We had to reduce, to go a simple way. You put on the back side, only for the part he is working on now. Q: What is the ink made from? It’s not made from plants, but it’s a chemical product. And, of course, he mixes the colours to make the special colour for the kimono.
